Tairoa Lodge & Cottage  

In Hawera, a 4.5-star luxury lodge just a short drive from the town’s landmarks. Hawera Water Tower and King Edward Park are about five minutes away by car, with Tawhiti Museum and Hawera Golf Course also nearby; New Plymouth Airport is roughly 73 km.

Set in one of Hawera’s oldest homes (built 1875), rooms are tastefully decorated with private ensuites, quality beds and robes, plus tea/coffee facilities and daily housekeeping. Options include a fully self-contained cottage that sleeps five and a separate 3‑bedroom Gatehouse—ideal for families or medium to long-term stays—many rooms overlook the garden and pool.

Relax on the terrace and in the garden, take a dip in the swimming pool, or let the kids burn off steam in the arcade and playrooms. There’s a picnic and barbecue area and a TV in the common room, and complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected while you enjoy sea-breeze-free garden mornings.

On-site luggage storage, laundry facilities and a library are available. Daily or weekly housekeeping is offered and special rates apply for longer stays—good for corporate or extended visits.

An on-site restaurant is available and continental breakfasts are offered daily for a fee. Guests are also welcomed with complimentary afternoon tea or an aperitif on arrival.
